A wife filed divorce petition on mutual consent after a separation of 6 years and obtained the decree. She did not claim any maintenance during that process as she was earning a living. Later, due to health issues, she became unable to earn a living for herself and so seeks maintenance from her ex-husband. Is she eligible to claim a maintenance from her ex-husband at this point?

I would also like to know the following -When filing the divorce , it was mentioned in the petition that both husband and wife are established professionally and hence not claiming any maintenance from each other. This was written because that time the wife was working. But now the wife does not do any job due to some health problems. In this scenario, can the wife claim maintenance?
